Starfish LP/CD - 1994 on Vinyl Japan.

Starfish was the Fat Tulips only album. It was recorded in 1993/4 at the Track Station, Burton upon Trent and engineered by the wonderful Ken McPherson. None of the tracks on the album/CD were released officially anywhere else. Six other songs recorded during the album sessions were also produced. Five appeared on two Vinyl Japan 7" singles "Driving Me Wild" and "New Spring Rites For Sarah" - all five shared a single CD compilation. The sixth, Human Timebomb was the Fat Tulips only song that never appeared anywhere, in any format. There is a possibility it may appear somewhere, someday!
